I’m fitting utilities into a new bathroom (my own place) and I was told by the inspector to “be sure to leave at least 24″ in front of the toilet”.  Then I saw a reference in one of the Tauntaun books that mentioned leaving a min. of 30″ in front of the sink.  But THEN I saw something mentioned in only one of the several books that I’m refering to that said that there needed to be 18 – 24″ at the side of the tub!  No where else can I find this and the inspectors in my town are not open to questions unless you go downtown and hunt them down.  The UPC is not available anywhere on line (that I can find) and I don’t own a copy.

Does anyone here know whether or not there is an actual Uniform Plumbing Code requirement for ‘side-clearance’ on a tub?  I’ve got my toilet alongside the tub at one end; that is, the end of the tub against a wall, and the back of the toilet against the same wall centered around 16″ to the side of the tub which will leave about 6 or 7 inces between them at the back end of the tub.

Thanks!
